Solar Power

Almost three-quarters of the 11,280 panels that make up the 1.2 megawatt solar farm in Adkins, Texas have already been reserved by commercial and residential CPS Energy customers, officials said Monday.

A new partnership between Solar San Antonio (SSA) and Build San Antonio Green (BSAG) hope to offer a comprehensive approach to the education, formation and development needed for renewable and sustainable energy sources.

CPS Energy recently hosted a tour of Alamo 3, the latest of seven commercial solar farms the public utility has built around Texas to live up to its goal to install 400 megawatts (MW) of solar power to CPS Energy customers by 2016.

Energy industry executives, researchers, policy makers and educators from across the nation are gathered in San Antonio this week for the Texas Renewable Energy Industry Association conference which ends tomorrow.
